The Warrior Run Eagles are headed away from home for the first time to face off against the Midd-West Mustangs at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
Mount Carmel hit Warrior Run with a five-run seventh inning on Monday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Eagles lost 11-4 to the RED TORNADOES.
Warrior Run saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Griffen Harrington, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, one run, and one double. Another was Landon Tillson, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
Meanwhile, Midd-West took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Tuesday. They blew past Loyalsock Township 7-1. The Mustangs not only won on Tuesday, but they posted their biggest win since April 16, 2025 (when they won 17-4).
Colton Aumiller was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed 3.1 innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. Aumiller was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs and one double.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Braxton Smith, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. Max Trawitz was another key player, going 1-for-2 with two RBI and one run.
Warrior Run got the 'W' in their previous matchup back in March of 2025 against Midd-West by a conclusive 10-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
